The College of Archbishops’ Evangelists works under the presidency of the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to encourage, connect and develop the ministry of evangelists across the Church of England. Our programme includes a range of in-person and online meetings, monthly webinars in partnership with the Church of England Vision and Strategy team, and communications on evangelism and other development and networking opportunities. Our members are committed to identifying and nurturing the evangelistic gifts of others, within their dioceses and across the Church of England.

We believe that the gift of the evangelist comes from the Holy Spirit and is expressed through people of every race, church tradition, gender, social background and age.
We are excited about the incredible variety and talent, creativity and vision that already exists within the college and want to see this multiplied and released through the connections that it enables.
The college is not the only Anglican community committed to evangelism and we want to partner with other agencies and celebrate other ministries. We welcome additional members, who should have both a gift for drawing others into faith and a proven ability to encourage and equip others to exercise their evangelistic giftings.
The college is chaired by the Bishop of Bolton, the Rt Revd Matthew Porter, and our work is overseen by our college council and implemented by two college ambassadors: the Revd Dr Christian Selvaratnam and the Revd David Senior.
